Health officials said last night they were 'deeply disturbed' by the suicide bid of the widow of a male nurse who died from Sars.
Lau Lee Po-lin was found in an emotional state standing on the rooftop of a Kowloon hospital at 4pm on Friday.
Mrs Lau, 31, also a public nurse, was later talked down from the roof and did not suffer any injuries, but police classified the case as an attempted suicide.
The incident happened a day after the government-appointed expert panel released its report into the Sars outbreak and a day before the Chung Yeung grave-sweeping festival.
Lau Wing-kai, a 38-year-old nurse, was among the eight health workers who died of Sars.
Lau contracted the disease after tending to infected patients in Tuen Mun Hospital and died on April 26.
